Why Invest in a Rugged Barcode Scanner?

Rugged barcode scanners are purpose-built to handle the harsh conditions of industrial and outdoor environments. Unlike standard scanners, they are engineered with protective features that allow them to remain operational in settings where traditional devices would fail. These features include:

  • Engineered for Extreme Environments

    Tested to military standards (MIL-STD), our rugged barcode scanners handle drops, shock, dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures, ensuring performance in the harshest conditions.

  • Long-Lasting, Field-Ready Performance

    Stay operational for longer with powerful, extended-life batteries and efficient power management, ensuring continuous data capture throughout high-demand workdays and shifts.

  • Customisable Solutions

    From scanning technology and range to form factor and connectivity, our barcode scanners adapt to your workflow – ensuring seamless integration and optimal data capture in field and fleet operations.

What are Barcode Scanners?

A barcode scanner is an electronic device designed to read and decode barcodes, converting the optical pattern of lines and spaces into digital data that a computer system can understand.

Key functions and benefits of barcode scanners include:

  • Rapid Data Capture – They allow for significantly faster data input compared to typing, boosting operational speed.

  • Enhanced Accuracy – By automating data capture, barcode scanners virtually eliminate human error from manual entry, ensuring high data integrity.

  • Increased Efficiency – Quick and accurate data capture streamlines workflows, from inventory management and asset tracking to sales processing and shipping logistics.

  • Cost Reduction – Improved accuracy and efficiency lead to reduced labor costs, minimized errors, and better inventory control, ultimately impacting the bottom line.

Barcode scanners are indispensable tools in a wide array of business applications, including retail, warehousing, manufacturing, healthcare, and field services, serving as a cornerstone for modern data management systems.


Understanding Rugged Ratings for Business Durability

Understanding rugged ratings and certifications is crucial as they directly indicate a device's ability to withstand harsh operating environments, ensuring reliability and a longer lifespan for your technology investment. These certifications are independently tested standards that verify a device's durability against common workplace hazards.

When we refer to rugged ratings for barcode scanners (and other mobile computers), we primarily focus on:

1. IP (Ingress Protection) Ratings:

  • This two-digit code indicates a device's resistance to dust and water ingress.

  • The first digit represents protection against solids (dust), on a scale from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust-tight).

  • The second digit represents protection against liquids (water), on a scale from 0 (no protection) to 8 (continuous immersion under specified conditions).

  • For example, a scanner with an IP65 rating is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets. An IP67 rating means it's dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water, while IP68 offers even greater protection for continuous immersion. Higher numbers signify greater protection.

2. MIL-STD-810G (or 810H) Certifications:

  • This is a series of performance tests established by the U.S. military. Devices tested to this standard are subjected to various environmental stresses that simulate real-world conditions.

  • For barcode scanners, this often includes tests for resistance to:

    • Drops and Shocks: Surviving repeated drops onto hard surfaces from specified heights.

    • Vibration: Withstanding vibrations experienced in vehicles or industrial machinery.

    • Extreme Temperatures: Functioning reliably in very hot or very cold conditions (both operational and storage).

    • Humidity: Resisting damage from high moisture levels.

    • Dust and Sand: Preventing ingress of fine particles.


Conclusion

Our barcode scanners undergo the rigorous certifications to ensure they are "Built to capture data where others fail", handling drops, shock, dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures to deliver unwavering reliability in unforgiving environments. Investing in certified rugged devices significantly reduces downtime, lowers repair costs, and ensures continuous operations, providing superior long-term value for your business.
